Sunday, May 3, 2026 10:15 am – 11:00 am General Session Business of Intangibles TrackComplimentary
London, England

Presented by the Women's LeadershIP Initiative


What does it look like to lead at the intersection of AI, intellectual property, and global change - and what did it take to get there? This session moves beyond the trends to spotlight the personal journeys of women driving structural shifts across the innovation ecosystem. A Director General reshaping IP frameworks, corporate and legal strategists charting new paths through technological disruption, and a 12-year-old inventor already making her mark through AI-assisted patent filings share the stories, setbacks, and breakthroughs that define their leadership. Together, they offer a forward-looking - and deeply personal - view of the decade ahead.
